UndocuAlly Training Mission
The mission of the UndocuAlly training is to identify, educate, and support allies by creating awareness of the current laws and legislation surrounding the undocumented student population. This training will address how to better serve and support our undocumented students, and to build a campus culture that acknowledges, integrates, and accepts students from diverse backgrounds. To ensure access to educational opportunities and promote a sense of belonging for all students regardless of their immigration status. Allies are individuals within the CSUMB community who consider themselves knowledgeable about undocumented issues and provide advocacy. Allies foster an atmosphere of support and inclusivity for our undocumented and mixed-status student population at CSUMB.
